Is there oxygen in a vacuum?

There is no oxygen present in a vacuum since a vacuum is an environment with very low pressure where gases, including oxygen, are effectively absent.


What process puts oxygen in to earths atmosphere?

Oxygen is produced through photosynthesis, a process where plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. This process is essential for maintaining the balance of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere.


What process adds oxygen to earths atmosphere?

Photosynthesis


What is the process that produces oxygen that is released into the atmosphere?

Photosynthesis is the process that produces oxygen released into the atmosphere. In this process, plants, algae, and some bacteria convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight. This oxygen is released into the air as a byproduct.


What is oxidizing elements?

The principle of Oxidizing elements use in stainless steel melting and refining are oxygen and air. The pure oxygen with purity of 99.5% is use for decarburization and refining. Atmosphere oxygen in form of air is also used. Nitrogen present in air is advantageous in some of 200 series stainless stains where nitrogen is required as an alloying element, but it is highly undesirable in low interstitial ferritic grades. Mill scale and iron oxide in form of lumpy ore can be also used as oxidizing agent. Both of these contain about 25% oxygen by weight. They can be selectively used to suit the specific process requirement.

What will happen to lighted candle in a vacuum?

In a vacuum, a lighted candle will eventually extinguish due to lack of oxygen for the combustion process to continue. The flame will consume the available oxygen in the immediate vicinity and go out once there is no more oxygen to sustain it.

Why is unlikely that the disappearing oxygen molecules could have produced a vacuum?

Oxygen molecules disappearing would not create a vacuum because the process would not remove all other gases and particles in the space. A vacuum is created by removing all matter from a space, not just one type of molecule. Additionally, the disappearance of oxygen would not decrease the pressure enough to create a true vacuum.


Which animal can respire in vacuum?

none, because you need oxygen to respire and a vacuum is the absence of matter and oxygen is matter


What happens to fire in a vacuum?

It will go out. Fire needs oxygen, and a vacuum has none.


Would a cadaver decompose faster or slower in a vacuum?

There are two main processes of decomposition with biological organisms, those being Aerobic and Anaerobic. Aerobic occurs in the presence of the element Oxygen. The Latin prefix "An" means "not", so anaerobic occurs when there is no oxygen present.Aerobic processes are generally faster, since oxygen is an accelerant, or more specifically, it causes decomposition to occur more rapidly than if it were not present. Oxygen is generally considered neither a fuel not a catalyst, though it can be the latter in specific instances (see: Oxygen oxygen).Since a vacuum has a distinct lack of Oxygen, the process would become anaerobic as soon as the internal oxygen within the object (body, piece of cheese, tomato, et al) ran out.Additionally, the vacuum adds other considerations. The item under examination would also desiccate (or dry out) as the volatiles, such as water, moved to the vacuum. Lacking both water and elemental oxygen, virtually all biological processes would cease.It could last forever, with no significant deterioration, if the vacuum were maintained, so not only would decomposition be slower, it would completely cease.


How does vacuum packing prevent bacterial growth?

Vacuum packing removes oxygen, which slows down the growth of aerobic bacteria that require oxygen to survive. Additionally, the vacuum packing process can create a hostile environment for bacteria by reducing moisture levels, further inhibiting their growth and proliferation. This helps to prolong the shelf life of food products and maintain their quality.


How can oxygen be separated from fizzy drinks?

Oxygen can be separated from fizzy drinks by simply allowing the drink to sit and go flat. This process involves the escape of carbon dioxide gas, which leaves behind the oxygen component. Alternatively, a vacuum pump or aeration process can also be used to remove the gas and separate the oxygen from fizzy drinks.


What is the difference between an oxygen vacuum and a regular vacuum?

The oxygen cannister has a higher filtration which is more expensive but great for your home,especially for allergy suffers etc.
